Translator: 549690339

Li Jixian thought resentfully, really wanting to beat the Jingzhao Magistrate Lu Xun to death on the spot.

He could have just walked away.

However, at this point, the matter was already widely known, and whether he left or not would not have a significant impact.

Sooner or later, the matter would reach the Imperial Court, the palace, and the ears of the Emperor and Empress.

The thought of this made Li Jixian even more frustrated, and even somewhat irritable.

He sat with a dark face on one side.

The reason he stayed behind was that he just wanted to know the truth.

Exactly what happened?

Although Jingzhao Magistrate Lu Xun was a bit rigid and inflexible, he was still somewhat capable in handling things.

Under his severe questioning, the woman recounted her experience intermittently.

She did indeed go to the inn to meet someone, but when she arrived, the innkeeper said there were no vacant rooms left, and all the other rooms were full of guests.

Although she found it strange, she didn’t think much of it.

Just as she was about to leave, a person nearby said that he suddenly had something urgent to do and didn’t need the room he booked, which was the best room in the inn, Room No. 1.

She took the room immediately and waited in it for the person.

When speaking to this point, the woman’s husband was furious, his eyes almost spewing fire.

Even the most cowardly man could not tolerate his woman being unfaithful.

“You still have the nerve to say you weren’t waiting for the Crown Prince!” The man roared angrily.

The woman shrank back, lowered her head, and said softly, “I really wasn’t waiting for him… The room was pitch black, and when he pushed the door open, I thought it was him…”

“Whore!” The man yelled and tried to hit her.

He was restrained by the bailiffs.

The man shouted, “Tell me, what did you two do?”

Li Jixian answered lightly, “What do you think a woman, naked in a hotel room waiting for a man, would do?”

The man was about to erupt in anger, but when he saw Li Jixian’s face, he held back.

The other party was the Crown Prince, whom he didn’t dare to provoke.

Even if the other party had slept with his woman, he didn’t dare to say a word.

Seeing the woman look at him, she didn’t dare to say anything either.

Lu Xun slapped the table and asked, “Madam Wang, since you claim you don’t know the Crown Prince, then who is the man you were waiting for in the inn?”

“It’s…” The woman glanced at Madam Wang.

“Speak!” Lu Xun slammed the gavel, “If you lie in the Main Hall, severe punishment awaits!”

This matter concerned the Crown Prince and the royal family’s reputation, so it had to be thoroughly investigated.

The woman shivered and said with a sob, “It’s Zhang Wang!”

“You’re talking nonsense!” Madam Wang yelled when she heard her husband’s name.

Lu Xun shouted, “This official did not ask you! You are not allowed to speak!”

Madam Wang hastily bowed her head and knelt down.

Lu Xun asked the woman again, “Mrs. Wang, since you were waiting for Zhang Wang, why didn’t he show up, and someone else came?”

Mrs. Wang cried, “I don’t know either. We had definitely agreed on it, but he never showed up. Because of him, I was taken advantage of by someone else. I hate him to death…”

Her husband’s face turned green repeatedly.

Lu Xun asked Madam Wang, “Is Zhang Wang your husband?”

“It’s true that my husband has this name, but whether it’s the man she’s talking about, I don’t know…” Madam Wang said ingratiatingly.

Madam Wang sneered, “Heh, you’re really good at avoiding responsibility. You don’t know your own man’s character? He’s always telling me how ugly, fat, and fierce his wife is, that he doesn’t even want to take a look at her. It looks like it’s you, alright.”

Madam Wang was furious, “You despicable womanizer….”
